Despite its entry as a port, Fort Ward is a former U.S. Army coastal-defence post on Bainbridge Island, on Rich Passage in Washington's Puget Sound. The site is today a park and residential area; a pier survives, but there is no container, breakbulk or bulk cargo handling. Freight relevance for forwarders is minimal. The nearest commercial gateways are Seattle and Tacoma, jointly run as the Northwest Seaport Alliance.
